Chapter 3

I am starting to get some seriously bad vibes about this book by Christian Meier. Chapter 3 was filled with social mishmash topped off with an uncovincing quasi-economical sauce. It was called "The Greek Way", and was a terrible attempt to try to answer the question "what made Greece in general, and Athens in particular, special?"

It was bad. I hope once he gets onto history as opposed to semi-history the quality of chapter 1 will return.
